4 LISBON TREATY Treaty in response to a changing world A more democratic and transparent Europe Simplified working methods and voting rules Charter of Fundamental Rights into European primary law bringing together Europe's external policy tools Through significant innovations 2.5 year Presidency of the European Council High Representative for EU foreign affairs and security (+ action service) Solidarity clause
5 LISBON TREATY AND INVESTMENT Foreign direct investment now part of the common commercial policy The Union is to contribute to the progressive abolition of restrictions to foreign direct investment Action to be guided by general principles of the EU and other commitments e.g. consumer and environmental protection + Role EP
6 Pre-Lisbon Treaty division of competence: theory Portfolio FDI Promotion Member States Member States Protection Member States Member States Liberalisation Treaty (Free movement of capital) Latest generation of EU Free Trade Agreements
7 Pre-Lisbon Treaty division of competence: practice EU level: Multilateral: General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) Attempt in OECD (Multilateral Agreement on Investment, MAI) Further attempt in WTO (a «Singapore issue») Bilateral: «Minimum Platform on Investment» Focus on establishment and MA Examples: EU-Korea FTA, EU-Cariforum EPA + ongoing negotiations Sectoral: Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) MS level: Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs)
8 BITs: the most visible manifestation of MS competence IE MT CY SI LV SK EE LT PT EL DK HU BG PL ES RO AT SE FI CZ IT BE+LU NL FR UK DE
9 Implications of the Lisbon Treaty Validity of existing Member State instruments, i.e. BITs (short term) Ability of Member States to enter into new BIT negotiations or conclude ongoing negotiations (short to medium term) Interest of the EU to exercise newlygained competence (medium to long term)
10 Commission s response Address any uncertainty that will arise relating to existing BITs: grandfathering Enable MS to continue negotiations and conclusion of BITs with certain specific third countries: empowerment Define contours for new EU policy in a Communication. Focus on investment protection to complement current agenda.
11 Investment Communication Agenda for future EU negotiations Going where the growth is FTA as a vehicle for investment negotiations (Canada, India, Singapore, etc.), but also non-fta partners (China, Russia) Parameters for EU investment agreements EU added-value: produce better results as a collective Investment protection & investor-state arbitration Investment promotion policies can complement and fit well alongside a common EU investment policy (cf. export promotion)
12 COUNCIL CONCLUSIONS Pragmatic and realistic approach that empowers Member States when no EU agreement foreseen Criteria for selecting priority partners for EU: economic climate in third countries, market size and growth, the strategic importance of the economic relations of the EU, opportunities offered in terms of investment, political and institutional stability, the degree of local legal protection for European investors, BITs concluded by Member States with these countries, as well as the potential added value of an EU agreement cf recently adopted Trade Policy
13 NEW TRADE POLICY WHY? Potential, by 2020, to a 1% higher level of EU GDP Gains from a wider variety of goods and services for the average consumer in the range of 600 a year, in addition to lower prices More than 36 million jobs in Europe depend on EU ability to trade with the rest of the world
14 TRADE POLICY Negotiating agenda WTO and major partners Deepen trade relations with other strategic partners, focusing on tackling non-tariff barriers Help EU access global markets by redressing balance open EU markets & more closed markets Make sure trade is fair, and rights are properly enforced, translating promise on paper into concrete benefits; Ensure trade remains inclusive so that the benefits go to the many, not the few. Negotiating comprehensive investment provisions
15 TRADE POLICY INVESTMENTS Investment is key to diffusion of innovation and new technologies: newer sectors (telecom) but also for instance traditional high tech textile production (textiles) Services represent 70% of world output but only one fifth of world trade Estimated tariff equivalents above 20% Public Procurement: 10% share of GDP in industrialised countries.
